I, too, wondered why the president wasn't there... but I read that it was because this was a CIA memorial for the VP because of all of his work he did with them. This wasn't his actual funeral or memorial service.

I think one of the writers said this in a recent interview and I will try to find it.

-There are a few major plot holes, there's no arguing that, but I still find the show entertaining.

As for the car being moved, I agree that is pretty ridiculous. I guess it would have had to be moved by someone with CIA security clearance.

That did bother me too. If it was in a parking space that would be one thing but parked on the sidewalk or whatever it was, that is weird and somebody would have had to notice that.

I mean, once you get the car in past security, why is it so hard to believe that a car could go unnoticed for a few minutes? I don't know how the CIA works, but it's a parking lot...I don't there are patrols every minute. Perhaps we'll find out how it happened (I'm sure we will), and until then I don't think this was too preposterous...certainly not enough to ruin it for me.

And it was indeed the CIA's memorial; not his full funeral. So the POTUS not being there makes sense. It was just for the CIA people. I'm sure the rest of the Brodys would have been at a real/full funeral too.

Brody has to go and go soon for this show to remain legit. I know Lewis has gotten a lot of acclaim but for the shows integrity he must be gone after this season and his family as well. Saul will do fine picking up the slack as the second lead in this show. There is still so much to his character that can be explored.

The problem is keeping brody around. Right now it's just ridiculous and serves little purpose. No more love story. No more stepping foot in the US. The only way they could potentially make it work is to put Carrie out into the field again and have brody link up with a terrorist cell somewhere. However this would totally ruin the character of Brody and turn the show into a cat and mouse game again which is what we saw with Nazir and on a smaller level Brody.

Looking back, the show would have been perfect. I mean perfect if Brody blew himself up in the room. Now they are kinda stuck with him and grasping at straws to keep him around in some way. We saw that in season 2. Brody's whole arc was originally designed for him to die in season one.

Get rid of Brody, go more in depth with Saul, no more brody family and reintroduce other characters and this show will be fine.

Season 2 wasn't anywhere near as good as season 1... but it wasn't THAT bad. I actually thought the last episode saved it from being lame and all the sudden most things made sense / was pretty cool. I was way down on it the couple episodes before the last one.

Definitely wouldn't call it poorly acted or written personally, some things were a stretch to accept last season, that I would agree with (mainly the pacemaker angle), but a lot of it was rectified in the finale. The list of awards as far as the acting (both lead actors winning Emmys and being nominated again this year + guests/supporting actors) and the writing speak to that I think.

I agree that I didn't think it was as terrible as most here make it out to be. I don't know how it ever could have compared to season 1, and I never expected that. So perhaps since my expectations were checked I wasn't as disappointed. With that said, I am 0% eager for the next season. I have no idea when it starts and even as I'm typing this I don't feel like simply googling it and finding out.

As for Dana, as I said here I thought her character grew immensely that season. It's so far from one of the biggest problems with the show. I think she's a strong character at this point
